I bought the album and this sets the tone for what is to come.... "Summer of Love" was that hippy dream time in the mid sixties, a decade had passed and here we had those arch metalloid fiends BOC putting the 70s into perspective. No, "things aint what they used to be" so maybe we should all get real and grow up and deal with the harsher realities of life that were always there... It segues into another paean to times lost and times to deal with stuff you rather you did not have to..."True Confessions" an allusion to the magazines of this name no doubt. A great track from a great album I played all the time that year... my girlfriend once remarked to the contrary when it had finished playing, our relationship endured at least another year but then it was soon enough time for some true confessions, no 78 "aint the summer of love".... well, for some of us maybe...

@Rockinroyston I think you are doing GREAT to even remember 78! I remember it too.
